I started doing weighted pullups. The max I can do with 25 lbs is 6. My numbers will be down but I am doing pullups 5 days a week to get back up to sets of 10+. Hopefully it won't take more than a month or so to build the strength.

Current sets are:

Set 1 - 5Set 2 - 4Set 3 - 3Set 4 - 2Set 5 - 1

I will just add 1 rep per day. Day 2 will be 5,4,3,2,2 and day 3 will be 5,4,3,3,2. It is pretty gradual progress but 25 lbs feels heavier than I thought.
